Mail Wrapper

A lightweight wrapper for send mail. The interface is tottaly decoupled from the sender. The motivation is create a single interface for sending mail doesn't matter the sender. There are three options available:

• SMTP (with SSL/TLS)
• AWS SES (using API directly)
• Mailgun (using API directly)

Install

composer require "byjg/mailwrapper=2.0.*"

How to use

The MailWrapper has your classes totally decoupled in three parts:

• The Envelope: the mail envelope. Defines the mail sender, recipients, body, subject, etc;
• The Mailer: the responsible to deal with the process of send the envelope
• The Register: Will register the available Mailers in the system.

Envelope Class

MailWrapper provides a envelope class with all the basic necessary attributes to create an email. As this Envelope class are totally decoupled from the Mailer engine, you can use it also as DTO. See an example below: (do not forget require "vendor/autoload.php")

<?php
// Create the email envelope
$envelope = new ByJG\Mail\Envelope();
$envelope->setFrom('[email protected]', 'John Doe');
$envelope->addTo('[email protected]');
$envelope->setSubject('Email Subject');
$envelope->setBody('html text body');

Sending the email

Once you have created the envelope you can send the email. Basically you have to register in the fabric all mailer you intend to use and then create the mailer:

<?php
// Register the available class
\ByJG\Mail\MailerFactory::registerMailer(\ByJG\Mail\Wrapper\PHPMailerWrapper::class);
\ByJG\Mail\MailerFactory::registerMailer(\ByJG\Mail\Wrapper\MailgunApiWrapper::class);

// Create the proper mailer based on the scheme
// In the example below will find the "mailgun" scheme
$mailer = \ByJG\Mail\MailerFactory::create('mailgun://api:[email protected]_DOMAIN');

// Send the email:
$mailer->send($envelope);

You can create the mailer directly without the factory:

<?php
$mailer = new \ByJG\Mail\Wrapper\MailgunApiWrapper(
    new \ByJG\Util\Uri(
        'mailgun://[email protected]_DOMAIN'
    )
);

// Send the email:
$mailer->send($envelope);

Sending attachment

<?php
$envelope = new \ByJG\Mail\Envelope('[email protected]', '[email protected]', 'Subject', 'Body');
$envelope->addAttachment('name_of_attachement', '/path/to/file', 'mime/type');
$mailer->send($envelope);

Adding attachment as Embed Image

Adding an image as a inline attachment (or Embed) your mail reader will not show as download but you can use it as an local image in your email.

See the example:

<?php
$envelope = new \ByJG\Mail\Envelope('[email protected]', '[email protected]', 'Subject');
$envelope->addEmbedImage('mycontentname', '/path/to/image', 'mime/type');
$envelope->setBody('<img src="cid:mycontentname" />');
$mailer->send($envelope);

The connection url

To create a new sender you have to define a URL like that:

scheme://username:password/smtpserver:port

The options are:

The protocols available are:

Gmail specifics

From December 2014, Google started imposing an authentication mechanism called XOAUTH2 based on OAuth2 for access to their apps, including Gmail. This change can break both SMTP and IMAP access to gmail, and you may receive authentication failures (often "5.7.14 Please log in via your web browser") from many email clients, including PHPMailer, Apple Mail, Outlook, Thunderbird and others. The error output may include a link to https://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?answer=78754, which gives a list of possible remedies.

There are two main solutions:

Sending through SMTP

You have to enable the option "Allow less secure apps". It does not really make your app significantly less secure. Reportedly, changing this setting may take an hour or more to take effect, so don't expect an immediate fix. You can start changing here

The connection string for sending emails using SMTP through GMAIL is:

tls://[email protected]:[email protected]:587

Sending Through XOAuth2

This option is currently unsupported.

Further information and documentation on how to set up can be found on this wiki page.

Amazon SES API specifics

The connection url for the AWS SES api is:

ses://ACCESS_KEY_ID:[email protected]

The access_key_id and secret_key are created at AWS Control Panel. The region can be us-east-1, etc.

Mailgun API specifics

The connection url for the Mailgun api is:

mailgun://[email protected]_DOMAIN

The YOUR_API_KEY and YOUR_DOMAIN are defined at Mailgun Control Panel.

The Region of the endpoint can be configured by query parameter "region" (example: mailgun://[email protected]?region=eu)

Valid values are: us and eu.

Sendmail Specifics

The connection url for the Sendmail is:

sendmail://localhost

You need to setup in the php.ini the email relay.

Implementing your Own Wrappers

To implement your own wrapper you have to create a class inherited from: ByJG\Mail\Wrapper\BaseWrapper and implement how to send in the method: public function send(Envelope $envelope);

class MyWrapper extends \ByJG\Mail\Wrapper\BaseWrapper
{
    public static function schema()
    {
        return ['mywrapper'];
    }

    public function send(Envelope $envelope)
    {
        // Do how to send the email using your library
    }

    // You can create your own validation methods.
    public function validate(Envelope $envelope)
    {
        parent::validate($envelope);
    }
}
